  • Foraging Modes of Carnivorous Plants Aaron M
    Israel Journal of Ecology & Evolution, 2020 http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/22244662-20191066 Foraging modes of carnivorous plants Aaron M. Ellison* Harvard Forest, Harvard University, 324 North Main Street, Petersham, Massachusetts, 01366, USA Abstract Carnivorous plants are pure sit-and-wait predators: they remain rooted to a single location and depend on the abundance and movement of their prey to obtain nutrients required for growth and reproduction. Yet carnivorous plants exhibit phenotypically plastic responses to prey availability that parallel those of non-carnivorous plants to changes in light levels or soil-nutrient concentrations. The latter have been considered to be foraging behaviors, but the former have not. Here, I review aspects of foraging theory that can be profitably applied to carnivorous plants considered as sit-and-wait predators. A discussion of different strategies by which carnivorous plants attract, capture, kill, and digest prey, and subsequently acquire nutrients from them suggests that optimal foraging theory can be applied to carnivorous plants as easily as it has been applied to animals. Carnivorous plants can vary their production, placement, and types of traps; switch between capturing nutrients from leaf-derived traps and roots; temporarily activate traps in response to external cues; or cease trap production altogether. Future research on foraging strategies by carnivorous plants will yield new insights into the physiology and ecology of what Darwin called “the most wonderful plants in the world”. At the same time, inclusion of carnivorous plants into models of animal foraging behavior could lead to the development of a more general and taxonomically inclusive foraging theory.

  • Generic and Subtribal Relationships in Neotropical Cymbidieae (Orchidaceae) Based on Matk/Ycf1 Plastid Data
    LANKESTERIANA 13(3): 375—392. 2014. I N V I T E D P A P E R* GENERIC AND SUBTRIBAL RELATIONSHIPS IN NEOTROPICAL CYMBIDIEAE (ORCHIDACEAE) BASED ON MATK/YCF1 PLASTID DATA W. MARK WHITTEN1,2, KURT M. NEUBIG1 & N. H. WILLIAMS1 1Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611-7800 USA 2Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Relationships among all subtribes of Neotropical Cymbidieae (Orchidaceae) were estimated using combined matK/ycf1 plastid sequence data for 289 taxa. The matrix was analyzed using RAxML. Bootstrap (BS) analyses yield 100% BS support for all subtribes except Stanhopeinae (87%). Generic relationships within subtribes are highly resolved and are generally congruent with those presented in previous studies and as summarized in Genera Orchidacearum. Relationships among subtribes are largely unresolved. The Szlachetko generic classification of Maxillariinae is not supported. A new combination is made for Maxillaria cacaoensis J.T.Atwood in Camaridium. KEY WORDS: Orchidaceae, Cymbidieae, Maxillariinae, matK, ycf1, phylogenetics, Camaridium, Maxillaria cacaoensis, Vargasiella Cymbidieae include many of the showiest align nrITS sequences across the entire tribe was Neotropical epiphytic orchids and an unparalleled unrealistic due to high levels of sequence divergence, diversity in floral rewards and pollination systems. and instead to concentrate our efforts on assembling Many researchers have posed questions such as a larger plastid data set based on two regions (matK “How many times and when has male euglossine and ycf1) that are among the most variable plastid bee pollination evolved?”(Ramírez et al. 2011), or exon regions and can be aligned with minimal “How many times have oil-reward flowers evolved?” ambiguity across broad taxonomic spans.

  • Zur Kenntnis Afrikanischer Gentianaceen
    Zur Kenntniss afrikanischer Gentianaceen. Von Hans Schinz (Zürich). I. Bei der Bestimmung einer kleinen, aus verschiedenen südafrikanischen Sammlungen stammenden Anzahl S eb aea- Species war ich gezwungen zwecks Sicherstellung der Arten eine grössere Reihe von Vertretern der genannten Gattung in den Kreis einer einlässlichen Untersuchung zu ziehen, und da das Resultat derselben in verschiedenen Punkten von der von Grisebach in dessen Monographie der Gentianaceen (Genera et Species Gentianarum 1839) gegebenen Aufstellung wesentlich abwich, rief, wie dies bei ähnlichen Studien ja so häufig der Fall zu sein pflegt, gewissermassen eine Analyse der andern. So ent- stand dann eine anfangs unbeabsichtigte kritische Sichtung des ganzen Genus und dessen nächsten Verwandten, deren Hauptpunkte den Gegenstand der nachfolgenden Erörte- rungen bilden. Eine durchaus einwurfsfreie Identificirung einer Pflanze mit einer bereits beschriebenen ist natürlich nur dann möglich, wenn jene mit dem Exemplar verglichen werden kann, das dem Autdr bei der Beschreibung als Vorlage gedient hat, und ich bin daher Herrn Professor Peter in Göttingen, der mir Einsicht in das Grisebach'sche Material gestattete, zu ganz besonderm Danke verpflichtet. In gleicher Weise bin ich von den Herbarien in Genf Schinz, Zur Kenntniss afrikanischer Gentianaceen. 307 (Herb. de Candolle), Valleyres (Herb. Reuter und Barbey), Chambésy (Herb.

  • The Miniature Genome of a Carnivorous Plant Genlisea Aurea
    Leushkin et al. BMC Genomics 2013, 14:476 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/14/476 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The miniature genome of a carnivorous plant Genlisea aurea contains a low number of genes and short non-coding sequences Evgeny V Leushkin1,2, Roman A Sutormin1, Elena R Nabieva1, Aleksey A Penin1,2,3, Alexey S Kondrashov1,4 and Maria D Logacheva1,5* Abstract Background: Genlisea aurea (Lentibulariaceae) is a carnivorous plant with unusually small genome size - 63.6 Mb – one of the smallest known among higher plants. Data on the genome sizes and the phylogeny of Genlisea suggest that this is a derived state within the genus. Thus, G. aurea is an excellent model organism for studying evolutionary mechanisms of genome contraction. Results: Here we report sequencing and de novo draft assembly of G. aurea genome. The assembly consists of 10,687 contigs of the total length of 43.4 Mb and includes 17,755 complete and partial protein-coding genes. Its comparison with the genome of Mimulus guttatus, another representative of higher core Lamiales clade, reveals striking differences in gene content and length of non-coding regions. Conclusions: Genome contraction was a complex process, which involved gene loss and reduction of lengths of introns and intergenic regions, but not intron loss. The gene loss is more frequent for the genes that belong to multigenic families indicating that genetic redundancy is an important prerequisite for genome size reduction. Keywords: Genome reduction, Carnivorous plant, Intron, Intergenic region Background evolutionary and functional points of view. In a model In spite of the similarity of basic cellular processes in eu- plant species, Arabidopsis thaliana, number of protein- karyotes, their genome sizes are extraordinarily variable.

  • Confronting Assumptions About Spontaneous Autogamy
    Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009, 161, 78–88. With 4 figures Confronting assumptions about spontaneous autogamy in populations of Eulophia alta (Orchidaceae) in south Florida: assessing the effect of pollination treatments on seed formation, seed germination and seedling developmentboj_992 78..88 TIMOTHY R. JOHNSON1*, SCOTT L. STEWART2, PHILIP KAUTH1, MICHAEL E. KANE1 and NANCY PHILMAN1 1Plant Restoration, Conservation and Propagation Biotechnology Lab, Department of Environmental Horticulture, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-0675, USA 2Horticulture and Agriculture Programs, Kankakee Community College, 100 College Drive, Kankakee, IL 60901, USA Received 1 June 2009; accepted for publication 7 July 2009 The breeding system of the terrestrial orchid Eulophia alta was investigated in south Florida where it has previously been reported as an auto-pollinated species. The effect of breeding system on seed viability and germinability and seedling development was also investigated. Incidences of spontaneous autogamy in E. alta were rare at the study site, resulting in only 7.1% of observed flowers forming capsules. In addition, hand pollination resulted in significantly greater capsule formation when flowers were subjected to induced autogamy (46.4%), artificial geitonogamy (64.3%) and xenogamy at both short (pollen source 10–100 m away; 42.9%) and long (pollen source > 10 km away; 67.9%) distances. Pollen source had little effect on seed viability and germinability or seedling growth rates. However, seed resulting from spontaneous autogamy developed more slowly than seed originating from the other treatments. These data indicate that spontaneous autogamy is rare in E. alta and that naturally forming capsules may be the result of unobserved pollination events.

Carnivorous plants have been fascinating researchers with their unique characters and bioinspired applications. These include medicinal trait of some carnivorous plants with potentials for pharmaceutical industry. Methods. This review will cover recent progress based on current studies on digestive enzymes secreted by different genera of carnivorous plants: Drosera (sundews), Dionaea (Venus flytrap), Nepenthes (tropical pitcher plants), Sarracenia (North American pitcher plants), Cephalotus (Australian pitcher plants), Genlisea (corkscrew plants), and Utricularia (bladderworts). Results. Since the discovery of secreted protease nepenthesin in Nepenthes pitcher, digestive enzymes from carnivorous plants have been the focus of many studies. Recent genomics approaches have accelerated digestive enzyme discovery. Furthermore, the advancement in recombinant technology and protein purification helped in the identification and characterisation of enzymes in carnivorous plants. Discussion. These different aspects will be described and discussed in this review with focus on the role of secreted plant proteases and their potential industrial applications.

  • An Asian Orchid, Eulophia Graminea (Orchidaceae: Cymbidieae), Naturalizes in Florida
    LANKESTERIANA 8(1): 5-14. 2008. AN ASIAN ORCHID, EULOPHIA GRAMINEA (ORCHIDACEAE: CYMBIDIEAE), NATURALIZES IN FLORIDA ROBE R T W. PEMBE R TON 1,3, TIMOTHY M. COLLINS 2 & SUZANNE KO P TU R 2 1Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 2121 SW 28th Terrace Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33312 2Department of Biological Sciences, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199 3Author for correspondence: [email protected] ABST R A C T . Eulophia graminea, a terrestrial orchid native to Asia, has naturalized in southern Florida. Orchids naturalize less often than other flowering plants or ferns, butE. graminea has also recently become naturalized in Australia. Plants were found growing in five neighborhoods in Miami-Dade County, spanning 35 km from the most northern to the most southern site, and growing only in woodchip mulch at four of the sites. Plants at four sites bore flowers, and fruit were observed at two sites. Hand pollination treatments determined that the flowers are self compatible but fewer fruit were set in selfed flowers (4/10) than in out-crossed flowers (10/10). No fruit set occurred in plants isolated from pollinators, indicating that E. graminea is not autogamous. Pollinia removal was not detected at one site, but was 24.3 % at the other site evaluated for reproductive success. A total of 26 and 92 fruit were found at these two sites, where an average of 6.5 and 3.4 fruit were produced per plant. These fruits ripened and dehisced rapidly; some dehiscing while their inflorescences still bore open flowers. Fruit set averaged 9.2 and 4.5 % at the two sites.

  • Species Accounts
    Species accounts The list of species that follows is a synthesis of all the botanical knowledge currently available on the Nyika Plateau flora. It does not claim to be the final word in taxonomic opinion for every plant group, but will provide a sound basis for future work by botanists, phytogeographers, and reserve managers. It should also serve as a comprehensive plant guide for interested visitors to the two Nyika National Parks. By far the largest body of information was obtained from the following nine publications: • Flora zambesiaca (current ed. G. Pope, 1960 to present) • Flora of Tropical East Africa (current ed. H. Beentje, 1952 to present) • Plants collected by the Vernay Nyasaland Expedition of 1946 (Brenan & collaborators 1953, 1954) • Wye College 1972 Malawi Project Final Report (Brummitt 1973) • Resource inventory and management plan for the Nyika National Park (Mill 1979) • The forest vegetation of the Nyika Plateau: ecological and phenological studies (Dowsett-Lemaire 1985) • Biosearch Nyika Expedition 1997 report (Patel 1999) • Biosearch Nyika Expedition 2001 report (Patel & Overton 2002) • Evergreen forest flora of Malawi (White, Dowsett-Lemaire & Chapman 2001) We also consulted numerous papers dealing with specific families or genera and, finally, included the collections made during the SABONET Nyika Expedition. In addition, botanists from K and PRE provided valuable input in particular plant groups. Much of the descriptive material is taken directly from one or more of the works listed above, including information regarding habitat and distribution. A single illustration accompanies each genus; two illustrations are sometimes included in large genera with a wide morphological variance (for example, Lobelia).

  • Pollen and Stamen Mimicry: the Alpine Flora As a Case Study
    Arthropod-Plant Interactions DOI 10.1007/s11829-017-9525-5 ORIGINAL PAPER Pollen and stamen mimicry: the alpine flora as a case study 1 1 1 1 Klaus Lunau • Sabine Konzmann • Lena Winter • Vanessa Kamphausen • Zong-Xin Ren2 Received: 1 June 2016 / Accepted: 6 April 2017 Ó The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract Many melittophilous flowers display yellow and Dichogamous and diclinous species display pollen- and UV-absorbing floral guides that resemble the most com- stamen-imitating structures more often than non-dichoga- mon colour of pollen and anthers. The yellow coloured mous and non-diclinous species, respectively. The visual anthers and pollen and the similarly coloured flower guides similarity between the androecium and other floral organs are described as key features of a pollen and stamen is attributed to mimicry, i.e. deception caused by the flower mimicry system. In this study, we investigated the entire visitor’s inability to discriminate between model and angiosperm flora of the Alps with regard to visually dis- mimic, sensory exploitation, and signal standardisation played pollen and floral guides. All species were checked among floral morphs, flowering phases, and co-flowering for the presence of pollen- and stamen-imitating structures species. We critically discuss deviant pollen and stamen using colour photographs. Most flowering plants of the mimicry concepts and evaluate the frequent evolution of Alps display yellow pollen and at least 28% of the species pollen-imitating structures in view of the conflicting use of display pollen- or stamen-imitating structures. The most pollen for pollination in flowering plants and provision of frequent types of pollen and stamen imitations were pollen for offspring in bees.
